Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.In Italy, turno is commonly used to describe a scheduled period of work. It can refer to a shift in a factory, hospital, or any other workplace where employees work in shifts. For example, a nurse might work the night turno at a hospital while another nurse works the day turno. In this sense, turno is similar to the English word 'shift.'
However, turno can also be used more broadly to refer to any kind of turn or rotation. For instance, it can refer to the order in which people take turns doing something. If a group of friends are taking turns playing a game, they might say 'è il mio turno' (it's my turn) when it's their time to play. In this sense, turno is similar to the English word 'turn.'
Overall, turno is a versatile word that can be used in many different contexts related to taking turns or working shifts. Whether you're talking about work schedules or just deciding who gets to go first in a game, turno is an essential part of everyday Italian vocabulary.
